I don't know what they are smoking, but most every DVD burner I have used can burn DVDs and CDsm such as my own Sony DRU510a.

I think when it said top-set above, they meant set-top. Meaning, they're talking about DVD video recorders, like the Panasonic DMR-Ex0 line.

Can't the TOshiba and Phillips write RW? they don't just read them...because they will format for writing DVDs. I Think Lite on is just playing catchup.
